SimplyAbuDhabi XLVII

S ome cars stir the soul. Others ignite it. The new Rezvani Retro RR1 does both — a breathtaking homage to the legendary Porsche 935 of the 1970s, reborn with the precision, performance, and polish of today’s finest engineering. It is more than a car. It’s a love letter to motorsport’s most intoxicating era — that golden age when speed ruled Le Mans, and design was as daring as the drivers who piloted it. Many of us once had the 935 pinned to our bedroom walls, a symbol of pure ambition. Now, Rezvani has taken that dream from the page and placed it firmly on the open road. This is not a replica. This is resurrection. Handcrafted in limited numbers — just 50 examples worldwide — each RR1 bears its unique chassis number as a mark of exclusivity. Chassis #01 wears the iconic 935 Martini livery, a nod to the racing legend that inspired it. The body, sculpted almost entirely in lightweight carbon fibre, is wider, meaner, and more commanding than its modern 992-generation Porsche 911 underpinnings suggest — 100mm broader at the rear track, 50mm at the front. Every curve and contour is shaped to evoke the classic silhouette while delivering razor-sharp modern aerodynamics. Performance That Thrills Beneath its vintage-inspired skin, the RR1 is pure modern muscle. With upgraded turbos, intercoolers, and performance software, it unleashes 618 HP to the wheels on 91 octane —with even greater output on 93 or race fuel. At just 2,950 lbs in track spec, this is a car that pairs featherweight agility with relentless force. Simply Abu Dhabi | 229
